Adidas Takumi Sen 10 First Run Review | A fun, lightweight shoe for fast training and racing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- The Adidas Takumi Sen 10 is the latest version of the brand’s lightweight speed shoe. According to Adidas, it’s designed for training and racing up to 10k, featuring two layers of Lightstrike Pro cushioning along with Energyrods to provide a propulsive and snappy toe-off and minimise energy loss.
There’s a mesh upper designed to offer a high level of breathability as well as wick sweat away from the foot, a Slinglaunch heel construction for a locked-down fit, and a traditional lacing system to ensure there’s no slippage.
Tom and Nick have taken the shoe out on a first run to see if it delivers.

To all that you said in the review you can add incredible longevity. My 8's have 386 miles on them - still going strong and I'm using them as a daily trainer. They have become a bit more flexible than my much lower mileage 9's, guess the energy rods fatigue, but still snappy. I weigh 147 lbs which probably helps.
I retired my 8s at 350 miles. Great shoes
Wow, very impressive longevity for the racing shoes with racing foam, seems like I need to try them on, instead of wasting money on another pair of nike.
Had my 10s for a couple of months now. Amazing shoe.
Hi from New Zealand.
I’ve got the 8s, really like them for going fast. I have a high cadence and these are ideal; hit the ground and go, no delay.
Not sure why this shoe is so over looked. I have most of the high end race and performance shoes from all the major brands and the Takumi Sen 9 is by far my most versatile shoe (the Endorphin Pro 3 is on par but has a different feel). If you're using this for track only I'm confused, why use a road shoe on the track and then call it over priced? I use this for slow runs, speed repeats, hills and have a couple of half's in the bag with no issue at all. I got the Boston 12 after hearing that many reviewers think it feels like the TS and it's not even close, the Boston is a brick compared to the TS!
nice review, thank you. @Nick i really like the garmin watch band you had, where can i find it?
Thanks for the video- @nick - 8's on steep discount currently ( cant find 9's) reason to go for the 10's over them?
Query on sizing, why do you appear to think that UK sizes are universal between brands? A UK 9 in a Nike will be a UK 9.5 in an adidas. So when you say "this is my normal size" which brand(s) are you talking about?
Adizero doesn't have much padding around the heel collar so a 9uk adidas = 9uk nike. Because Nike has more padding
But other adidas has more padding so you need to go 9.5uk. It depends on the model
Is this colorway going to available in America?
Should i get adios pro 3 or this takumi sen 10 for 5-10k race
If you're a big boy I would get the pro 3. The Takumi Sen is very direct feeling. I find I really have to be going fast to get the most out of it. Track session shoe.
I did five 5Ks and a downhill mile in the Takumi Sen 8 last year and they were surprisingly comfortable, but they weren't as fast on my feet as I had hoped. I did eventually set a new 5K PR of 22:31 wearing them, one whole second faster than my previous best which was done in the Endorphin Speed. For my relatively slow pace, I think perhaps a bouncier shoe would work better.
What abt compare with Asics Magic Speed 3?
Magic speed 3 with daily flyte foam blast+ and takumi sen with premium racing foam lightstrike pro are not in the same league, I think they are more comparable with boston 12. Asics S4 with racing upper and flyte foam turbo are more comparable with takumi sen but they are only available in Japan
Is it better for 5k-10k races than the Adios Pro 3? Does it give you more energy return?
For 5k’s Vaporlfies (2 or 3) are the fastest. Takumi Sen 8 or 10 would be my second options
@@nightlockgaming3876 Takumi's easily last 2x-3x more than Vapors unless you want like 100% speed no compromise like Endorphin Elite.

“What is better: AP3 Or Takumi Sen 10?
-Vaporflys”
😅😂
"energy return" primarily depends on the resilience of the foam, which, as far as we can tell, is at least very similar (both have some Lightstrike Pro flavor). The higher stack in the AP3 could theoretically be compressed more, and then spring back stronger than the TS, but how much you will engage the foam very much depends on your biomechanics. I never heard anyone complain about bottoming out in the TS. There is no best shoe, just shoes that work better or worse for certain individuals. I like the dynamic feeling of the TK9 for shorter distances and the softer feeling of the AP3 for longer runs (well, I would if it didn't eat up my heels) but some use the TS to race marathons.
@phil6450 that was my question because I have both the TS8 and the AP3 and I "feel" I can make better times in 10k races with the AP3 than with the TS8 and I was wondering if this new version "gives you" more energy return than the TS8 due to the new energy rods configuration and (maybe) the more rocker...
Looks like a great shoe but I agree with Fordy that this shoe is NOT worth £170.
No reason to upgrade from my takumi sen 9
That is what I heard, that the 9 and 10 were very similar. And likely the 9 can be found with some discount.
BelievetheRun seem to prefer the 9 over the 10, on their postcast.
@@Kaisersozze I'll have to listen. All the review I read said that the changes are minimal, yet I cannot find the 9 in my size anymore...
Yeah that's the problem with Adidas, a lot of their shoes sell out, especially in the better colorways. I was lucky and found a pair of Boston 12s the other day at my local adidas outlet, pure luck. @@madfemurfast
It's sold out in Canada as well. Adidas website sells out especially in the better colorways. I had some luck at my local adidas outlet store. @@madfemurfast
I love these guys except for Nick Harris Fry who talks so fast (British accent) that makes you say HUH? WHAT? DUH? WHAT DID HE SAY??? Yo dude, not everyone is British so talk at a pace where the Universe understands you
Thats crazy how snug you both like your trainers.... I prefer more wiggle room....I hate the cut outs of the Takumis not very stable..these trainers are pointless
Completely disagree. My takumi sen 9s are electric, my favourite shoe in my rotation and perhaps the best shoe I’ve ever used
Ran my 3000m PB in the TS9. Fantastic light shoe on the track.
Lol i always find it funny when people say " i have been sent these products but im allowed to say what i want" come on who are you fooling around 😂😂. Dont bother with these disclaimers
It was funny when they reviewed the Nike Pegasus Turbo Next Nature. You could tell they all thought it was rubbish and generally hated it, but nobody actually said it directly.
the TS slowly going back to it roots, racing flats.
i still have my TS7 🫡
